A Encouraging Record.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6-The Railway Age to-mor-
row will say IF the yearly statements of rail
way foreclosure sales are q barometer of the
condition Of railway property. the record Of 1886
is almost appalling. Statistics, just completed,
show that during the past year no less
than forty live railways. with 1857 miles
of main line, representing bonded debt of
$40. lac, 500, and capital stock of 1903 969 200
making total of nearly 1914, lilo, 900, have been
sold under foreclosure and transferred to new
ownership. This means, in many cases.
that the capital stock has been wiped
out entirely, and that the bonded
debt has been changed into new securities, gen.
orally less in amount than the old debt Neces-
sarily, these sales always mean the sacrifice
of very large part of the value indi-
Gated in the original securities The
mileage represented is more than double
that of any year in the past decade,
except 1879, and far greater than
in that year. while the stock and debt total is far
larger than in any other year, and nearly 80 per
cent moro than in 1885 This alarming exhibit
is somewhat redeemed by the fact that the
number of new receiverships shows a very
great decrease only thirteen roads, with an
aggregate mileage of 800 miles and capital
and bonded debt of about SIG. 0O0, 900. having
been placed in charge of receivers If, however
competitive railway building continues to go on
at the rate at which it is now proceeding, it is
not unlikely that new era of bankruptcy will
eventually follow

John Roach's Disease.

New York Mail and Express.
He retains his faculties completely, but is
kept under anodynes to give him relief from
pain. He has suffered immense torture for
months. the physicians having deferred the ad-
ministration of anodynes as long as possible. He
talks very little, and practically one is al
lowed to gee him outside of his family and ply
sicians. He has for weeks realized the hopeless
ness of his condition, but has borne up with
wonderful pluck. He is very much reduced in
flesh, having lost steadily since his return from
Mt McGregor. Mr.. Roach's cancer is in the
roof of the mouth and nose. The published &C
counts of its development are incorrect in a num-
Der of particulars. 1t began to develop first .
year ago and the operation was performed on
March 10, not the I'd. stated. After his
return from Mt McGregor he went to his Office
every day unit Thanksgiving and fer several
days after and the last time he left his homo
was December 10 for a short ride. For two
months after the operation he rallied, and it was
thought he had recovered, for it was thought
enough of the bone had been taken out to eradi-
cate the disease.

seeking State convention Of road supervisors,
somebody having written to his house that such

he had been sent by his firm to introduce his

ate. Representative Farquhar. of New York.
ex-president of tho International Typogrs phical

Benedict has of late made number of changes
in the force employed in the Government Print

large number more as soon as he is confirmed by
the Senate. Farauhar is member of the House

Evidence of Careful Watching.

LVlQ0nco OF Care1ul W0tchlngs
There are within the city limits some thirty
street crossings over some of which an average
of two hundred and fifty passenger or freight
trains pass every twenty four hours, yet in tho
year 1886 not person was seriously injured at
any crossing within the city limit. which Is GER
tainly very complimentary to the s45 per month
hagmen who watch so faithfully these crossings.
The Philadelphia Record gives list Of thirty
eight persons who were killed last year by be-
ing struck or run over by the steam cars at the
street crossings within the city limits. In 1885
the number was fifty two, a decrease which per-
haps indicates the relative efficiency of greater
number of gates and watchmen. Such a butchery
is shameful. and the knowledge of
it ought to incite the city and railroad authori-
ties to take measures to prevent such another
record of mortality by trains in the next two
years The question of grade crossings in and
near large cities is occupying the attention of
many railroad managers. In his last annual re-
port President Choate, of the Old Colony Rail
road Company, which runs an immense number
of trains in and out of Boston daily, says:
Probably no expenditures can be made upon
roads more profitable for the company than in
the abolition of grade crossings" That company
is engaged in getting rid of its grade crossings.
Ten were done away with in the course of the
year. and others will follow as soon possible.

The appointment Of Judge Cooley as receiver of
the Wabash means better things for the pools

indications of reform are apparent in the rela-
